DayZ is the unforgiving zombie-survival sim where every encounter could be your last. A dedicated server with Steam Workshop mods and full Central Economy (loot) control lets you build the exact hardcore world you want. Pick a plan and your DayZ server deploys in under 60 seconds — no manual install, no command line, no shared lobbies. It ships ready for Steam Workshop mods and Central Economy, so you can shape the server exactly how your community plays.
We run DayZ on high-clock AMD Ryzen CPUs with NVMe SSD storage, wrapped in always-on multi-Tbps DDoS protection — for smooth tick rates, fast world loads and single-digit ping. We recommend around 6–10 GB of RAM, scaling with players and mods. Plans scale up to 60+ slots.
Manage everything from a modern control panel: a live console, one-click mod & plugin installer, visual config editor, scheduled automatic backups — plus real 24/7 human support whenever you need it.
Your DayZ server supports Steam Workshop mods and Central Economy — install straight from the panel or upload your own with full file access. No SSH, no headaches, and you can upgrade RAM in one click if a big modpack needs more.

Bohemia publishes a single requirements table for the DayZ dedicated server. These are the figures to size a plan against:
| Resource | Documented requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows Server 12-16 or Windows 10 or greater, or Linux |
| Processor | Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz, or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz |
| RAM | 6 GB |
| Storage | 2.5 GB space on the drive, with an SSD for logs and install noted as highly recommended |
The dedicated server is its own Steam application, separate from the DayZ game itself, so what the host installs and keeps updated is the server build rather than your copy of the game.
DayZ mods are Steam Workshop content, and they are enabled at the file level. The mod's folder has to exist in the server root, the keys that ship with it have to end up in the server's own keys/ directory, and the mod has to be named on the server's startup command line. A plan is mod-capable when it gives you those two things: file access to the server root and control over the startup parameters.
Both client-facing mods and server-side-only mods are covered, using a different startup switch for each, and signature checking of mod content is controlled by the verifySignatures setting in the server config.
Worth checking before you commit: how restarts are handled. Bohemia recommends the graceful shutdown method rather than stopping the process outright, to avoid negative side effects on player characters and on server storage saving. The shutdown is scheduled from a file inside the mission folder and can warn players in-game on a countdown before it happens.
In practice that means you want write access to the mission folder and control over when the server stops, rather than a fixed restart schedule you cannot adjust.
